Kids take 9 months to **** out, why are you selling it now?

Brazilbro · 01-02-2011, 12:08 AM

First thing I did when my wife got prego was sell my evo and got the 370.. No kids in my car.. thats what your wife/gf's car is for! Last thing I wanted was a 400 hp evo with a baby seat in the back

Make her get the car or you get a cheap DD . what reason do u have to have baby in the car with you without your girl? just use her car for child transport .

Here's my youngest riding in the Z. My boy loves riding in it lol! It legal plus he falls asleep so fast because the bounce and the exhaust note! I would keep the Z bro!

In addition the buyer is probably going to be finance the car, the Bank or FCU is going to go with the BB price, unless the buyer has a hefty down payment against the loan.

For 45gs Im getting a low mileage z06, but thats just me. Good luck man.

Thank you guys for the inputs... I'm really thinking about just adding a second "safe" car/suv and keeping the Z. I'll see how the sale goes. I'll be posting the car on ebay/auto trader/ cars.com/ and forums.

I haven't even enjoyed the car yet, and I get hit with the news... on new years day lol. THAT SUCKS!

That is the best choice you can make. Have you thought of a little scion? There are many options out there.

Mustang GT. You'll still get decent performance plus have money left over for ...um...er...diapers and shite.

RCZ · 01-02-2011, 04:03 PM

You're better off parting out and selling everything and then selling the car separately. Selling modded cars is not easy and you rarely get what you want for it.

On the bright side, congratulations!

ProfessorDave · 01-02-2011, 04:31 PM

You will not drive your Z much with kids. Especially as they get to be toddlers, and you take them everywhere. But since you like performance and forced induction, I'd say go get a Mazdaspeed3. Fast and safe. Or an STI (which has already been suggested).

This is all assuming that finding an affordable DD is not a viable option. If that's the case, go get a Fit, Mazda2, Fiesta, etc.

mick · 01-02-2011, 05:28 PM

in my mind, a STI with a child seat doesn't look right

ImportConvert · 01-02-2011, 06:47 PM

Christmas time always was the shittiest time of year for me. That is why I demanded that I work over the holiday weekends. If **** goes wrong, at least I'm in the hospital. Yeah, stuff did. Both my Dad and step-mom had cardiac issues this holiday, my debit card # was mis-used by someone, and my japcrapmobile is suffering from transmission issues now I think.

Anyway, just don't do **** around the holidays. If there were a way to edit/delete this time of year, I would. Life would kick so much more *** without Xmas.

My point is--don't make a mistake and sell your favorite toy until you have thought this all out or you will add another shitty move to this yearly slump. Stop. Think. Plan. You can overcome this. Give it a couple months of thought. Right now your girl is probably going into this nutty nesting phase where all they do is yammer about "when the baby..." and she has her head in babyville and life is all on pause. Seen it before. No way to beat it. Well, in my state there is, but maybe not yours. The point being, wait until she comes off cloud 9 and you can get some sense in her and buy a 2000's era SUV for cheap and make everyone happy and still keep your Z.

Just my .02 from watching this same thing play out over and over and over with everyone I know around here.

All you have to do is save $500 a month between the two of you and you can land a very nice DD that is kidfriendly. Of course, your girl is going to try and push all this **** on you and make you sell the Z and foot the entire bill, but you need to not give in to that kind of abuse. It's just as much her baby as it is yours.
